Sledge Brothers, also referred to as '''Sledge Hammer Bros.''' | Sledge Brothers, also referred to as '''Sledge Hammer Bros.'''<ref>M. Arakawa. ''NES Game Atlas''. Page 35. "''You can run under or jump over the Sledge Hammer Bros. if you don’t want to fight them.''"</ref>, first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they replace Hammer Brothers in the [[Giant Land]] levels, as well as on the area's map. They first appear in [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-3]]. If a Sledge Brother sees [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], it attacks them by throwing hammers at them; additionally, whenever a Sledge Brother jumps and lands on the ground, it creates a miniature earthquake which can paralyze the player. To defeat a Sledge Brother, Mario can either [[jump]] on it, hit it with a [[Green Shell|Shell]], use a [[fireball]] as [[Fire Mario]], or a [[hammer]] as [[Hammer Mario]] to take it out. | ||
Originally, their map icon was a Hammer Brother, but in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] remake in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', their map icon changed into a green Hammer Brother. Their map icon was later changed to properly resemble a Sledge Brother in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In the artwork and sprites of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and its re-releases, Sledge Brothers are depicted with mucus dripping out of their noses; however, this trait was not carried over into subsequent appearances (excluding ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'' and their "classic" designs in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''). | |||

Even though they are not featured in the final game, Sledge Brothers were initially supposed to appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', as initial placeholder sprites were made for them, having been drawn over their ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' sprites, but with shading and orange skin instead of green skin. However, they are not present in the final whatsoever, not even in unused graphics, meaning theirs had been overwritten during development. | |||

Sledge Bros. reappear in the [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|eighth world]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They can be defeated by jumping on them, hitting them with a fireball as [[Fire Mario]] or by touching them when Mario is empowered by a [[Super Star|Starman]]. Like the [[Fire Bro]]s., they only appear in [[World 8-7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-7]]. Their hammers have been redesigned compared to the normal Hammer Bros.' hammers to resemble large sledge hammers, which has carried over to most subsequent games. Unlike in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they do not always cause earthquakes with their every jump; this only happens when they pound the ground, which can also destroy [[Brick Block|brick]]s. This is needed to obtain a [[Star Coin]]. | |||

Sledge Bros. | Sledge Bros. reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' as rare enemies, along with Hammer Bros. They are first encountered in [[World 6-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-2]], where a pair of Sledge Bros. guard the exit of the cave. They also appear as semi-common enemies in {{world-link|7|castle|World 7-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. Like in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', their jump and ground pound moves are separate, although they are no longer seen breaking stone blocks. The [[Prima Games]] guide<ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 14.</ref> and the respective [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii trading cards|trading card]] both mislabel them as Sumo Bros. | ||
Sledge Bros., along with the [[Fire Bro]]s. again, outnumbered the once common Hammer Bros. in this game, the former being in two levels while the latter only appears in one. | |||
If a Sledge Bro is frozen by an [[Ice Ball|ice ball]], the player must [[Ground Pound]] it to defeat it, as it is too heavy to pick up. When frozen, Sledge Bros. will always be standing, even if they were frozen when ground pounding. | |||

They can be created by dragging a [[Super Mushroom]] on top of a [[Hammer Bro]]. They function the same as previous games, except like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they use the same hammers as Hammer Bros. Because they did not originally appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]'', brand new sprites in their respective art styles have been drawn based on the respective Hammer Bros' designs. They can be given wings, which will make them float in the air briefly before they Ground Pound. They can be placed in [[Block]]s, [[Bill Blaster]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s, and placed on tracks. Unlike most enemies, they can not be increased in size by a Super Mushroom because Hammer Bros. need one to become a Sledge Bro. This also works as making it impossible to make Hammer Bros. bigger without them becoming Sledge Bros. All of the "classic" versions have the dripping nose present in old artwork. They also return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. During the Wednesday, May 15th Nintendo Direct for ''Super Mario Maker 2'', Fire Bro-like Sledge Bros. known as [[Heavy Fire Bro]]s. were revealed to appear in the game. Sledge Bros. appear in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style, using voice clips for the first time, in addition to appearing in the previous four styles, while their fiery relatives are exclusive to said style, as with regular [[Fire Bro]]s. | ||

Sledge Brothers make several appearances in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they are among the elite of [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and the [[Koopalings]]' military forces. They are generally portrayed as fairly tough soldiers, and manage to pose as major enemies to Mario, Luigi, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] in many episodes. Much like in the game, Sledge Brothers are able to cause tremors by jumping. One exception is in the episode "Never Koop a Koopa".

Luigi distracts the remaining Sledge Brother by pointing out how poorly a group of Koopa Troopas are doing a marching formation, and defeats him and his returning brother by knocking out some of the Koopa Troopas and kicking their shells at the two burly soldiers. | ||

Unlike their smaller relatives, Sledge Bros. do not wear shoes, and their eyes are also smaller and beady; additionally, they usually carry around large sledge hammers instead of small, clawed hammers. Sledge Bros. have more pronounced beaks than Hammer Bros. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Sledge Bros. had light green skin, white belly plates, and wore black shells and helmets, though this was likely due to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]' technical limitations. The ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' gives Sledge Bros. a darker green skin tone, as well as cream-colored belly plates. Sledge Bros. were also portrayed with mucus dripping from their nose, a detail later revisited in the ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and ''Super Mario World'' styles in ''Super Mario Maker''. The ''Super Mario Bros.'' style also gives Sledge Bros. smiles as opposed to their frowns, as well as "proper" eyes with irises. | ||
''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' is mostly faithful to [[Super Mario Bros. 3|the game depiction of Sledge Bros.]], though there are several differences: Sledge Bros. are slightly less overweight and bulky, they have yellow beaks rather than green, they lack the dripping mucus from their noses, and they wear dark green shells and helmets instead of black. ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' and ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' are mostly faithful to the modern depiction of Sledge Bros., though they also have a paper outline in these games. | ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' is mostly faithful to [[Super Mario Bros. 3|the game depiction of Sledge Bros.]], though there are several differences: Sledge Bros. are slightly less overweight and bulky, they have yellow beaks rather than green, they lack the dripping mucus from their noses, and they wear dark green shells and helmets instead of black.

{{footnote|note|1|Their names are inconsistent throughout the dubbed version of the episode "Never Koop a Koopa". The generic moniker "Tovarăș" ("Fellow") replaces an instance of "Sledge Brother" from the English version (Eng.: "''Whew! A '''Sledge Brother'''!''"; Rom: "''Uuu! Un '''Tovarăș'''!''"). Other than that, Sledge Brothers are incorrectly referred to as [[Hammer Bro]]thers.}} | |||
